This beautiful and informative book offers a detailed introduction to the musical heritage of Central Asia for readers and listeners worldwide. Music of Central Asia balances "insider" and "outsider" perspectives with contributions by 27 authors from 14 countries. A companion website (www.musicofcentralasia.org) provides access to some 189 audio and video examples, listening guides and study questions, and transliterations and translations of the performed texts. This generously illustrated book is supplemented with boxes and sidebars, musician profiles, and an illustrated glossary of musical instruments, making it an indispensable resource for both general readers and specialists. In addition, the enhanced ebook edition, which is so comprehensive it had to be split into two ebooks, contains 180 audio and video examples of Central Asian music and culture. A follow-along feature highlights the song lyrics in the text, as the audio samples play.

Pressestimmen

"This magnificent book has been many years in gestation, but it has been worth the wait. . . . No prior knowledge is required to enjoy it. And enjoy is the word. The chapters are short, vivid, and packed with human interest."--BBC Music Magazine

"I foresee a next generation of enthusiastic young scholars encouraged to pursue research in part due to an initial encounter with Central Asian music through this volume."--Notes

"The Music of Central Asia is an encyclopedic page turner! This is essential reading for all performers, composers, ethnomusicologists, students, scholars and culturally engaged people everywhere. There has never before been one book that so expertly, vividly, and deeply unites the past, present, and potential future of an entire swath of the world's musical landscape."--David Harrington, Kronos Quartet

"The Music of Central Asia is like its subject: vast, variegated, resonant, and rich in musical traditions that have remained all too closed to outsiders for centuries. The book is both authoritative and innovative, ringing with regional voices and dozens of well-chosen examples of cultural riches to be sampled and savored by both specialists and students."--Mark Slobin, Winslow-Kaplan Professor of Music, Wesleyan University

"The Music of Central Asia is an incredible accomplishment. It provides a wealth of perspectives and is remarkably comprehensive in its coverage of the region."--Asian Music

This beautiful text book is exactly as described- a detailed introduction to the musical heritage of Central Asia for readers and listeners worldwide. Music of Central Asia balances "insider" and "outsider" perspectives with contributions by 27 authors from 14 countries. Dr. Levin's long involvement with many of the musicians discussed in this book, and his collaborations and contacts with the many contributors to this book make it an educational treasure.

5,0 von 5 Sternen An extraordinary achievement
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 5. Juni 2017
Verifizierter Kauf
I have a deep-seated non-professional interest in the many cultures of central Asia.This book, together with its website, give an unbelievably vivid picture of the sounds and looks of the people rather than the look of the places. Creating a master text and auditory website for courses in colleges and universities everywhere is a wonderful achievement. I hope many other disciplines go to the effort to produce works like this in other areas of culture.
